Jim,
  From what you said on Sunday, I suspect that the problem is in that
switch or in its wiring. "Gently twisted top of knob" and it disengaged. 
Look for a strand of wire that has escaped the insulation, or is poking
out of a crimped fitting, or something that could be making electric
contact in that area.  Or....it could be the switch itself.
